Core Tip

Core tip: Gastric dysplasia is considered a premalignant lesion that can become malignant. Thus, endoscopic resection is preferred not only for the removal of these lesions but also for exact diagnosis. In our study, we investigated the relationship between the occurrence of synchronous and metachronous lesions after endoscopic treatment of gastric dysplasia and various clinical factors during the follow-up period. The incidence rates of synchronous and metachronous neoplasms after endoscopic resection of gastric dysplasia were 12.1% and 13.8%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, age of < 60 years and intestinal metaplasia were independent risk factors of synchronous neoplasm. For metachronous neoplasm, especially metachronous gastric adenocarcinoma, independent risk factors were male sex, intestinal metaplasia, and high-grade dysplasia.
